Just a week ago, Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, was in Geneva for a third round of nuclear negotiations where he said Tehran and Washington had moved “closer to agreement”. Two days later, Israel and the US launched a war without a clear legal mandate or basis, and with minimal consultation with Congress or the American public.
Tehran, home to about 10 million people, has been burning since, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict. Mohammad Mohsenifar, an Iranian photographer, has been covering the destruction.
